The 2026 FIFA World Cup is set to take place in 16 locations across the country, including Miami, Los Angeles, Kansas City, Toronto, Mexico City, and the New York/New Jersey area. Some NJ Transit routes serving the stadium could cost as much as $150 for a roughly 15-minute trip from Manhattan’s Penn Station, nearly 12 times the standard fare ($12.09). Additional access restrictions could limit entry at major transit hubs during match windows, potentially disrupting or delaying everyday commuters. At the stadium, parking is expected to be significantly reduced or repurposed, with traditional tailgating effectively eliminated. Critics argue that nearly every path to attendance will be disrupted by the event.
